From the Artist:

A Requiem for Love, written by Calvin Miller, is an incredible poem in which each line musically tells the tale of the death of innocence and of hope that accompanies an enduring and gracious love. Over a three-month period, I endeavored to translate Miller’s written work into an auditory experience. I found inspiration when closely listening to scores such as Hans Zimmer’s Dune, Jóhann Jóhannsson’s Englabörn & Variations, and Daniel Hart’s The Green Knight. Each composer incorporates unique and often indistinguishable sounds that change the listeners’ perception of what a sound score should be, an approach which I attempted to mimic. The intention of my soundscape was to capture the spectrum of emotions and turmoil found in the lines of Miller’s poem, therefore taking my listeners through the story. After composing a score and an extensive editing process, the result is a true requiem for the masses. A Requiem for Love soundscape guides the listener through a complex journey evoking feelings of sorrow, expectancy, and contemplation. A Requiem for Love, soundscape, 14 minutes 41 seconds, 2024. All the sounds used for A Requiem for Love soundscape were recorded or directed by Annaliese Allen. Special thanks to my UCCS Independent Study professor Ben Kinsley, 2024 UCCS Art in Public Space class for group vocals, Marissa Irakoze for violin, and Ken Roberston and Amanda Gerber for specific vocal collaboration.

All ages welcome!

Drop-in any time between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m., pick up your challenge cards at the front desk, and discover three activity stations throughout the museum at your own pace. Children who complete all three activities can pick out a special prize!

This exhibition is in its 17th year having been started by Kim Costello in 2008. High school students from different schools create 4 foot by 4 foot tiles with the only limitations being that it has to be the full 4'x4' size and that it hangs from the ceiling. The students’ creativity has astounded us every year.

This is a judged exhibit and offers the students an opportunity to be judged not just by their peers but also by the public. Come in anytime during normal business hours to vote on your favorite tile and also vote online on our Facebook page.

Students with the most votes both in-store and online will receive gift certificates for framing or art. Voting starts at the reception and continues until February 14th, 2025.

Tesla’s Toolbox promotes creative exploration through hands-on activities that turn learning into fun. This winter, we are exploring different fields of engineering and related careers in the space industry.

What is a PopUp Choir? 

A PopUp Choir is a one-night event where people who love to sing (amateurs, professionals, karaoke masters) get together and sing! Everyone is welcome!

Every event is unique. The dynamics change depending on the singers, song choice, and facilitator. It simply is something you must experience to truly understand.

Everyone is Welcome! 

Yes, everyone! Come as you are. Even if you don't want to sing but just want to hang out and have a really cool experience, we would love to have you there. Reserve your sport today and get to know some incredible Springs' residents.

Before the Event

Once you register for the PopUp choir you will receive an email with your practice track and access to your sheet music. For the month of January we will be singing O Magnum Mysterium. This song holds a very special place in our artistic director's heart. It was the source of a magical moment in music that lives rent free in her heart.

Evening of the Event

On the evening of the event signers will arrive at the Meanwhile Block. Once we have settled in we will warm up, spend some time getting to know each other, and practice in sections (based on voice part.) The evening will conclude with everyone signing together as a choir.

Don’t forget to bring your sheet music, a water bottle, and a pencil with you.

Where do the proceeds from the event go? 

The proceeds of event will benefit the brand-new Colorado Springs Youth Choir. The brainchild of the fabulous Katy Crumpton, singer extraordinaire, choir director, and our facilitator for the evening.

We hope to see you there!
